Abstract (en)
An apparatus (1) is provided for enabling smokable material to be heated to volatise at least one component of the smokable material. In one example, the apparatus (1) has a capacitive sensor (12,13,15) arranged to sense a change in capacitance when an article of smokable material is associated with a housing (2) of the apparatus (1) in use. In another example, the apparatus (1001) has a resistive sensor (1050,1013) arranged to provide a measure of electrical resistance when an article of smokable material is associated with a housing (1002) of the apparatus (1001) in use. A combination of capacitive and resistive sensing may be used in some examples. In another example, a sensor makes use of at least two different sensing techniques. There is also provided an article of smokable material (130) having a non-metallic electrically conductive region (131) for detection by a sensor of an apparatus arranged to cause heating of the smokable material.
